rake Nothing for Granted.

One Of the professors in the Adler
school told me that nothing is left to the
imagination of tho child, SO far as possi-
BE; when any particular kind of machin-
cry is spoken OF 4 model Of it is shown
and the boy is madeto work it himself.
10 lesson in the book is ever gone through
without making sure that each child
understands the real meaning of every
word: nothing is taken for granted.
lDabylood gives an amusing illustration
OF the aptitude of parents and teachers to
take for granted the understanding of q
Child who understands nothing. A
mother who has read to her children tho
story Of Joseph and his brethren for the
twentieth time in the belief that every
word was understood, happened one
eyering TO ask the eldest boy whether he
undeiatood tho kind of pit into which tho
wicked brothers threw Joseph. The boy
at once said 'yes," and SO did his young
ar brother and sister; it was, he said. the
Eari thing that you threw away when

THE AesGNr-MINDEp SECRETARY.

Never Bewiiaersd. Except in Time OF
BattIe-.Dcfinition OF War.
A few days before he went to Georgia
TO get married Secretary Lamar had &C.
casion to speak of his alleged absent
mindedness. His friends, who say he
intended to invite his family and friends
TO his wedding, but forgot to send out
the invitations, recall what he said
then.
.It's all bosh," said Mr.. Lamar, ''to
call me absent minded. | was never
absent-mindcd nor bewildered il my life,
except in battle. In official life | can
keep as straight and regular as clock.
But I'll own up to getting bewildered in
battle. | never knew where | was noJ
where the enemy We're. After | had
been in two or three fights, l concluded
that | must lay down some definite rule
OF conduct in n fight to which could
hold myself, for il / did not. could not
tell where my bowilderment might some
day take me and my regiment l de-
cided that no matter what happened ]
would always go ahead in a straight line
just as far as circumstances and tho
enemy would let me. At the battle of

that it nearly cost our people the
services OF myself and regiment. If
it had not been for n. p. Hill my first eX-
tended acquaintance with the north would
have been made from the slender coign
of vantage TO he had in a military prison.
I charged ahead so hot and so fast that
when halted my entire regiment was
through the enemy'g lines and i'll their
rear. Hill, however, came up on each
side of my regiment and drove the enemy
back. As he rode up to me he said:
Col. Lamar. do you know where you
are:' l had to acknowledge very
limited amount of information on that
point, and was never more surprised in
my life than to learn that | had gone
through the enemy's. lines. Gen. Hill
told me to take my regiment to the rear
and let his men go on, but begged to be
permitted to go on. and so my regiment
was put in line with Hills brigades and
went on.
II used to think" Mr. Lamar went on
to say, "before. saw much fighting.
that the slaughter must be frightful. |
could not see how where so many bull
lets Were flying, there was any chance at
all for men to escape being hit. But l
soon wondered how anybody was hit at
au. Ny men that day at Williamsburg
shot themselves all out of ammunition
twice. When we went into bivouac at
night went about asking the boys how
they felt. met one big Mississippian
from my own town.
"'John, did you fire off all your
POWDER
"'No,' he said, Il tried hard all day,
colonel, to do my best, and 1 didn't fire
but twice. All day long didn't draw
bead on a Yankee but twice. I've got
my ammunition here, and he tapped his
cartridge box.
"'You fired twice?' I said. did you
hit 'em those tiines?'
"'Well, colonel, to. tell the truth, l
missed one Yai.k, and I'm in doubt about
the other.
THAT illustrates war;" said the secre-
tary. ga lot of men march out and

Death in tho Glass.

Undoubtedly people very often do con-
tract disease by drinking from glasses
used by others. Just think how tho
beer drinher is served in the ordinary
saloon, Look in on the crowd OF roughs
and SEQ them stagger up to the bar and
take the horrid mug in their hands and
drain 1t to the last drop. Then see tho
filthy wretch behind the bar take each
glass and make a pretense of rinsing it in
a slop Of dirty water, which has done the
same service for the whole day before.
The mouth from which that glass he's
been taken may be foul with loathsome
disease, Bartender in Globe Democrat,

Pbotocraphinr Flvinc GulIs.

An example of the speed with which
pictures can now be produced is afforded
by photograph of number of flying
gulls taken at Southport by a local
photographer, Mr.. Mallin. The various
attitudes of the birds are curious. Most
of them have the wings spread in the or
thodoX manner, but some of them are
caught in that curious position with the
wings hanging down, which, from the
shortness of the time during which it is
maintained, the eye does not appear to
catch. About sixty birds are shown
quite shnrpfy and distinctly. London

Governor Foraker announces
yha he will not be candidate for
reelection this fall. He thinks this
will not be news to alyboCv.
"Certainly, at least my friends
have known all along that l did
not desire q second term" he says.
Well, to those who are in the
"news" business, and are therefore
competent to judge OF the article,
the announcement will be regard
ed as Il fair chunk Of it, at least.
Mr.. Foraker has had many better
occasions for making his announce
ment, than the one he now en-
braces. 1t looks very much as
though he had just come to this
conclusion. The fact of the matter
is probably, that he is thoroughly
disgusted with the manner il
which his party in Ohio are run
ming things, foresees witt, certainty
the sure defeat that awaits them
as result Of it, and is unwilling,
while yet so young, 20 sacrifice
himself. A defeat for him now
would mean permanen. shelving
OF the young politician. Mr.. For-
aker is willing to stay with his
party in smooth sailing, but when
she strikes stormy seas, and wreck
awaits her, he prefers to take life
pieserver and jump off.-Cotunabas
